***** Shipping update: Immediate availability. Ships within 24 hours ***** ControLeo2 Quad Relay Controller - as seen on Kickstarter. This auction is only for the controller. If you want the full ControLeo2 oven build kit, please look at this listing. Follow the step-by-step build instructions here: http://www.whizoo.com What makes ControLeo2 the best reflow oven controller? Four outputs Control convection fans and heater elements individually. Better heat distribution Having control over individual heating elements allows you to keep heat away from sensitive components. Hot-spot elimination Intelligent software manages element on-time, reducing hot and cold spots in the oven. Better heat direction Intelligent software controls whether heat comes from the top or bottom, depending on the reflow phase Better current management Elements are turned on and off independently eliminating the current spikes common in single-relay controllers Ready-to-run No programming needed. Just configure the fans/elements your oven has and the reflow wizard will do the rest. No need to connect ControLeo2 to a computer or write any software! Proven hardware ControLeo2 is based on the original ControLeo, which has been field tested for more than a year. ControLeo was based on the Arduino Leonardo - another proven design. Open-source ControLeo2 is fully compatible with the Arduino programming environment, and runs Arduino Leonardo sketches. A library and 15 sample programs for ControLeo2 has been posted to GitHub. Reflow Wizard Intelligent software makes it easy to get your oven up and running. Ensures consistent results, run after run. Reflow feedback If you connect ControLeo2 to a computer you can track the reflow progress and get data to plot a reflow temperature graph. J-STD-020 compliance The Reflow Wizard is aware of the standards governing reflow ovens, and will auto-tune your oven so that it conforms to them. Thinking of buying a T962 oven? Click here to see why this is a bad idea. Reflow Wizard software ControLeo2 ships with the "Reflow Wizard" software installed. The software has 3 parts: Test the outputs - helps you verify that the heater elements and convection fan (if applicable) work. Oven setup - this part allows you to configure what each output controls. You also set the maximum reflow temperature here. Reflow - This is where the magic happens! The Reflow Wizard starts off in "learning mode". It looks at the configured hardware and maximum temperature, then takes an educated guess at how to achieve the correct reflow profile. It takes a few test runs to tune the duty cycle settings for each phase of the reflow cycle. Once it conforms to the J-STD-020 reflow standard, it exits learning mode. From then on, you'll get consistent runs time after time. The Wizard will continuously monitor the runs and make tiny adjustments if necessary. You can follow the Wizard's performance and commentary by connecting ControLeo2 to a computer using USB. ControLeo2 Test and Setup menu ControLeo2 in action ControLeo2 is open There is no need to program ControLeo2 at all, but if you're a software guru you can tinker to your heart's content. We've open-sourced all the software we've written for ControLeo2, including the Reflow Wizard. The software consists of a single Arduino library that controls all of ControLeo2's functions, as well as 15 sample programs. You can find everything on GitHub (https://github.com/engineertype/ControLeo2) ControLeo2 uses the standard Arduino environment. The library should be installed into your Arduino environment using the instructions found here: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries. The single ControLeo2 library gives you access to all of ControLeo2's functionality. Installing the library also installs all the sample code we've written for it. In Arduino, select the board as "Arduino Leonardo". Your sketches can then be sent to ControLeo2 using its micro-USB port. ControLeo2 is expandable ControLeo2 provides both 5V and 3.3V (max 80mA) to power additional components. There are 4 pins available for digital I/O (D3 supports PWM). ControLeo2 enclosure ControLeo2 uses a quality off-the-shelf flame-retardant ABS plastic enclosure with a textured finish. The holes are CNC machined to perfectly fit ControLeo2. The result is a high quality, tight fitting case that looks very good. We are thrilled with this enclosure. Only the lid has holes; you'll need to make a hole to route your wires through the case. ControLeo2 specifications and features ATmega32u4 microcontroller with Arduino Leonardo boot loader - 32Kb Flash memory, 2.5Kb SRAM and 1Kb EEPROM. LCD display - 2 lines x 16 characters. 4 relay outputs - relays are connected using screw terminals or the 6-pin relay header (4 outputs, +5V, GND). The outputs provide up to 220mA at 5V. The outputs support connections to solid-state relays (SSRs) or mechanical relays Buzzer - 80db at 10cm 2 momentary switches - for user input. ABS plastic case - custom fit, flame-retardant (UL94-5VA) MAX31855KASA thermocouple - capable of reading temperatures from -200°C to 1350°C using a k-type thermocouple. Input voltage: 5V (USB or screw terminals) - For reliability and longevity, the screw terminals should be used to power ControLeo2. For solid-state relays, the 500mA provided by USB is sufficient to power ControLeo2 and the relays. For mechanical relays please use a 1000mA 5V power supply connected to the screw terminals. Pre-loaded software - Reflow Wizard What you will get ControLeo2 with Reflow Wizard software pre-installed ABS enclosure with UL94-5VA flame rating Low-mass K-type thermocouple Standoffs, enclosure screws and button covers 20" of 1/4" red braided sleeving Rubber grommet (3/8" ID, 5/8" OD) If you want the full ControLeo2 oven build kit, please look at this listing.
